1. There are
thirty-onechapters, as well as many
sub-titles for quicker and easier reference.

2. Italicized
words (without parenthesis) are a part of the
original Authorized King James Version text of the
Gospels, where they are also italicized.

3. Italacized
words (in parenthesis) have been added for
clarification and information. They are, for the
most part, connecting words such as “a”, “and”,
“the” which help connect the words and sentences
from the different Gospels.

4. There are
several Old Testament Prophecies that have been
fulfilled in the New Testament. Their references are
shown in Italics and in parenthesis. A table of Old
Testament Prophecies and their respective scripture
references in the New Testament can be found in the
Appendix.

5. The actual
blending of the Gospels is twofold:

First,
the Gospel of Mark is used as a base Gospel, since
it recounts events virtually in chronological order.
Different biblical elements, details, stories, and
words of Jesus from John, Matthew, and Luke that do
not appear in the Gospel of Mark have been blended
into the text and have been inserted in their
chronological place. This is especially true for the
Gospel of John, since it has many elements that are
not found in the other three Gospels.

Second,
when there is a story in two or more Gospels, but
not in Mark, another Gospel is used as the base, and
the blending method is applied. When another Gospel
is selected as the base, the resulting mixture is
blended into the chronological road map of Mark,
resulting in The Four in One Gospel of JESUS.
In this way, a more complete story is told with
details from all the Gospel writers, without
repetition.

6. Blending
where two Gospels imply the same meaning:

Where two
Gospels describe the same thing with different
words, a parenthetical reference is included to
point out the difference. This does not include
cases where the same words are used in a different
order. For example, if one Gospel says “Then he
went,” and the other says “Then went he,” only one
version has been used, because both have the same
meaning. Nothing could be added or better explained
by the different order of the words, or by the
different way of saying the same thing.

7. Since many
words, phrases, sentences, or even whole verses or
sections can be the same in two, three or four
Gospels, only one Gospel has been chosen, and that
may leave the impression that there are Bible verses
(or parts of verses or words) that are missing from
some Gospels in the references, which you can see in
parenthesis after each paragraph or group of
paragraphs. That’s because:

-They say
ABSOLUTELY the same thing – word for word. For
example, Matthew 11:6, says absolutely the same
thing as Luke 7:23, so we have used only one of the
Gospel scriptures, in this case the Luke one, and we
define the Matthew one as identical.

-One whole
verse from one Gospel may be identical with parts of
a larger verse from another Gospel, e.g. the larger
verse includes the shorter one. In this case, we
have used the larger verse, and have defined the
shorter one as identical. One such example is Luke
6:28 which is shorter as a verse and is included in
Matthew 5:44.

-Bible
verses from different Gospels may say the same thing
but for some similar words, like for example if one
Gospel uses the word “for” an the other uses the
word “because”. Other such similar words and phrases
are “clothes” and “garments”, “forsook” and “left”,
“arise” and “rise”, “for him alone” and “for him
only”. Also, tense variations fall into this
category, e.g. “come”,
„came”
and “cometh”. John 5:14 for example, uses two tenses
in the same verse – “findeth” and “said”.

In all these
cases again, we have used one of the Gospels, and
identified as identical the other verses that are
same but for the particular similar word. On the
other hand, all the different words, sentences,
phrases or sections that add to the meaning of the
Gospel text used, even if it is in a small way, are
placed in parenthesis, with their scripture
references, as explained in point 6 above. All the
“missing in the references” identical Scriptures you
can find in the Appendix section, by chapters.

8. In some
cases, only a part of the referenced scripture has
been used, because the remainder is identical to a
different scripture that has been used in the Gospel
Mixture, although it may be used in another
paragraph. One example is Mark 1:13 which says “And
he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted
of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the
angels ministered unto him.” We know though, that
between “And he was there in the wilderness forty
days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild
beasts;” and “and the angels ministered unto him”,
there are a set of temptations that Matthew and Luke
describe.

So, we have used
the first part of Mark 1:13 in one paragraph, and,
since the other part of the same verse is identical
with Matthew 4:11, we have not included a second
reference to Mark 1:13 after the next paragraph
which references Matthew
4:11.

9.
In the
King James Version of the Bible, each verse begins
with a capital letter, regardless of whether it
begins a new sentence. We have followed this
convention as much as possible, with a few
exceptions, most notably when only one word or only
a few words are added from another Gospel to finish
the sentence. Similarly, in the process of
blending, we have added punctuation such as commas,
exclamation points, semi-colons, and dashes.

10. The actual blending begins in chaper 3.

11. References
within the text are as follows:

-The
numbers at the beginning of each sentence, phrase,
or word, reference the verse number.

-The
Scripture references in parenthesis after each
paragraph (or group of paragraphs) identify the
chapter and verse of the referenced Gospels.

-The name
of the Gospel is parenthetically referenced at the
end of each sentence, phrase or word.

Further explanation and detail can be found in the
Appendix.

CHAPTER

ELEVEN

Jesus Delivers a
Man of Many Devils

1 AND
they came over unto the other side of the sea. (Mark)26
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes (Luke)
– 28into the country of the Gergesenes,
(Matthew)26 which is
over against Galilee. (Luke)2
And when he was come out of the ship, (Mark)27
and when he went forth to land, (Luke)2 immediately there met
him (Mark)28two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so
that no man might pass by that way.
(Matthew)(One
of them was)27
out of the city a certain man, (Luke)2
with an unclean spirit, (Mark)27
which had devils long time and ware no clothes, neither abode in
any house, but (Luke)3
who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could
bind him, no, not with chains: 4 because that he had
been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had
been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces:
neither could any man tame him. (Mark)

5 And always, night and
day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and
cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus
afar off, he ran, (Mark)28
he cried out, and fell down before him, (Luke)6
and worshipped him, 7
and cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? (Mark)29
Art thou come hither to torment us
before the time? (Matthew)28 I beseech thee,
(Luke)7
I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
(Mark)

29 (For he had
commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.) (Luke)8
For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean
spirit. (Mark)29 (For oftentimes it
had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in
fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil
into the wilderness.) (Luke)

(Mark
5:1-8; Luke
8:26-29; Matthew 8:28-29)

30 And Jesus asked him,
saying, What is thy name? (Luke)9
And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are
many. (Mark)30 Because many devils
were entered into him. (Luke)10
And he besought him much that he would (Mark)31
not command them to go out into the deep, (Luke)(and)10
that he would not send them away out of the country. (Mark)

11 Now there was there
nigh unto the mountains, (Mark)30
a good way off from them, (Matthew)11 a great herd of
swine feeding. 12 And all the devils
besought him (Mark)32
that he would suffer them to enter into them, (Luke)31
saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us
to go away into the herd of swine.
(Matthew)12
Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. (Mark)32
And he suffered them. (Luke)32And he said unto them, Go.
(Matthew)13
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits
went out (Mark)33
of the man, and entered into the swine: (Luke)32and, behold, the whole herd of swine
ran violently down a steep place
(Matthew)13
into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in
the sea, (Mark)32and perished in the waters.
(Matthew)

(Luke
8:30-33; Mark
5:9-13; Matthew 8:30-32)

34 When they that fed
(Luke)14
the swine (Mark)34
saw what was done, they fled, and went (Luke)33
their ways, (Matthew)34 and told it
in the city and in the country. (Luke)14 And they went out to
see what it was that was done. 15
And they come to Jesus, (Mark)35 and found the man,
(Luke)15
him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion,
(Mark)35
out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of
Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
(Luke)16
And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that
was possessed with the devil, (Mark)(and)36
by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed,
(Luke)16
and also concerning the swine. (Mark)

34 And, behold, (Matthew)37
the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about
(Luke)34came out to meet Jesus: and when they
saw him, (Matthew)(they)37
besought him to depart from them. (Luke)17
And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. (Mark)37For they were taken with
great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back
again. (Luke)18
And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed
with the devil, (Mark)38out of whom the
devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him.
(Luke)19
Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, (Mark)38 but Jesus sent him
away, saying (Luke)19 unto him, Go
home to thy friends. (Mark)39
Return to thine own house, (Luke)19 and tell them how
great things the Lord (Mark)39
God (Luke)19
hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. 20 And he departed,
(Mark)39
and he went his way, (Luke)20
and began to publish (Mark)39
throughout the whole city (Luke)
(of)20 Decapolis how great
things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
(Mark)

Jesus Heals the
Issue of Blood And Jairus’ Daughter

21 AND
when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side,
much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
(Mark)40
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people
gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
(Luke)

41 And, behold, there
came (Luke)22
one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he
saw him, (Mark)41
he fell down at Jesus’ feet, (Luke)18 and worshipped him,
(Matthew)23
and besought him greatly (Mark)41 that he would come
into his house: 42for he had one only
daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. (Luke)23
My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee,
come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she
shall live. (Mark)19
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his
disciples. (Matthew)24
And much people followed him, and thronged him. (Mark)

(Mark
5:21-24; Matthew
9:18-19; Luke
8:40-42)

20And, behold, (Mathew)25
a certain woman, (Mark)20
which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, (Matthew)26
and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent
all that she had (Mark) – 43
all her living, (Luke)26
and was nothing bettered, (Mark)43 neither could be
healed of any, (Luke)26
but rather grew worse, 27
when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind (Mark)20him, (Matthew)27
and touched (Mark)44
the border of his garment: (Luke)21 for she said within
herself, (Matthew)28
If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the
fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her
body that she was healed of that plague. (Mark)44And immediately her
issue of blood stanched. (Luke)

30 And Jesus,
immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him,
turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
(Mark)45
Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with
him (Luke)
– 31 his disciples, said
unto him, (Mark)45
Master, (Luke)31
thou seest (Mark)45
the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest
thou, Who touched me? 46 And Jesus said,
Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out
of me. (Luke)32
And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.(Mark)

47 And when the woman
saw that she was not hid, she came (Luke)33
fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, (Mark)47
and falling down before him, she (Luke)33 told him all the
truth (Mark)
– 47 she declared unto
him before all the people for what cause she had touched him,
and how she was healed immediately. (Luke)22And when he saw her, (Mathew)48
he said unto her, (Luke)22
Daughter, be of good comfort; (Matthew)34 thy faith hath made
thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. (Mark)22And the woman was
made whole from that hour. (Matthew)

(Mark
5:25-34; Matthew
9:20-22; Luke
8:43-48)

35 While he yet spake,
there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain
which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master
any further? 36As soon as Jesus
heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the
synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe, (Mark)50 and she shall be
made whole. (Luke)

37 And he suffered no
man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother
of James. 38 And he cometh to the
house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult,
(Mark)23 and saw the
minstrels and the people making a noise, (Matthew)38 and them that wept
and wailed greatly. 39 And when he was come
in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? (Mark)52
Weep not; (Luke)24
give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. (Matthew)53
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. (Luke)

40 But when he had put
them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel,
and them that were with him. (Mark)51
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in,
save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother
of the maiden, (Luke)40
and entereth in where the damsel was lying. 41 And he took the
damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is,
being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. (Mark)

55 And her spirit came
again, (Luke)42
and straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of
the age of twelve years. (Mark)56
And her parents were astonished (Luke)42
with a great astonishment, (Mark)56
but he charged them (Luke)43
straitly (Mark)56
that they should tell no man what was done, (Luke)43
and commanded that something should be given her to eat. (Mark)26
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. (Mathew)

(Mark
5:35-43; Matthew
9:23-24, 26; Luke
8:50-53, 55-56)

Jesus Heals Two
Blind Men and Casts Out a Devil

27AND when
Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and
saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28And when he was come into
the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them,
Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea,
Lord. (Matthew)

29 Then touched he
their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
saying, See that no man know it. 31
But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all
that country. (Matthew)

(Matthew
9:27-31)

32 As they went out,
behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 33
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the
multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34
But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince
of the devils. (Matthew)

(Matthew
9:32-34)

Jesus Comes to
His Own Country

1
AND he went out
from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples
follow him. 2
And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the
synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying,
From (Mark)56whence then hath
this man all these things? (Matthew)2
And what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that
even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3
Is not this the carpenter, (Mark)55
the carpenter’s son, (Matthew)3 the son of Mary, the
brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? And are not
his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. (Mark)

4 But Jesus said unto
them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country,
and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his
hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And
he marvelled because of their unbelief. (Mark)

(Mark
6:1-6; Matthew
13:55-56)

35 And Jesus went
(Matthew)6
round (Mark)35
about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the people. 36But when he saw
the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because
they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd. 37
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
forth labourers into his harvest. (Matthew)

(Matthew
9:35-38)

CHAPTER

TWENTY

ONE

Jesus and the Ten Lepers

11AND it came
to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of
Samaria and Galilee. (Luke)

12 And as he entered
into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood
afar off: 13 and they lifted up
their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
(Luke)

14 And when he saw
them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it
came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
(Luke)

15 And one of them,
when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified
God, 16 and fell down on
his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
(Luke)

17 And Jesus answering
said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
(Luke)

(Luke
17:11-19)

When Shall the Kingdom of
God Come?

20AND when he
was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he
answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 neither shall they
say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
(Luke)

22 And he said unto the
disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days
of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 23 And they shall say
to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow
them. 24 For as the
lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth
unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in
his day. 25
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
(Luke)

26 And as it was in the
days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and
destroyed them all. (Luke)

(Luke
17:20-27)

28Likewise also as it was in the days of
Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they
builded; 29 but the same day
that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it
be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the
house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field,
let him likewise not return back. 32
Remember Lot’s wife. (Luke)

33 Whosoever shall seek
to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall
preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that
night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and
the other shall be left. 35
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the
other left. 36 Two men shall
be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37And they answered and said unto him,
Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither
will the eagles be gathered together. (Luke)

(Luke
17:28-37)

Parable of the Unjust Judge

1 AND
he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to
pray, and not to faint; 2 saying, There was in
a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3
and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me
of mine adversary. 4
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I
fear not God, nor regard man; 5yet because this widow
troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
(Luke)

6 And the Lord said,
Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him,
though he bear long with them? 8
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of
man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 9 And he spake this
parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and despised others: (Luke)

(Luke
18:1-9)

10 Two men went up into
the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I
am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as
this publican. 12 I fast twice in the
week, I give tithes of all that I possess. (Luke)

13 And the publican,
standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven,
but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14I tell you, this man went
down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be
exalted. (Luke)

(Luke
18:10-14)

Jesus Speaks on Divorce

1AND it came to
pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, (Matthew)1he arose from thence, (Mark)1
departed from Galilee, (Matthew)1 and cometh into the
coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto
him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. (Mark)2
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. (Matthew)2
And (Mark)3
the Pharisees also came unto him, (Matthew)2 and asked him, (Mark)3
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? (Matthew)2
Tempting him. (Mark)

3 And he answered and
said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put
her away.
(Mark)4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made
them at the beginning made them male and female, 5
and said, (Matthew)7 For this cause shall
a man leave his father and mother, (Mark)5
and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath
joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say unto him,
Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her
away? (Matthew)5
And Jesus answered and said unto them, (Mark)8
Moses because of the hardness of your hearts, (Matthew)5
wrote you this precept, (Mark)
(and)8 suffered you to put
away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. (Matthew)

(Mark
10:1-9; Matthew
19:1-8)

10 And in the house his
disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto
them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, (Mark)9
except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
adultery
(Matthew)11
against her: (Mark)9and whoso marrieth her which
is put away doth commit adultery. (Matthew)12 And if a woman shall
put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
(Mark)

10 His disciples say
unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good
to marry.
11
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save
they to whom it is given. 12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s
womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there
be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s
sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
(Matthew)

(Mark
10:10-12; Matthew
19:9-12)

Sell What You Have and Give
to the Poor

15AND they
brought unto him also infants, (Luke)13 little (Matthew)13 young children,
(Mark)15
that he would touch them: (Luke)13 that he should put
his hands on them, and pray: (Matthew)15 but when his
disciples saw it, they (Luke)13
rebuked those that brought them. 14
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, (Mark)16
called them unto him, (Luke)14
and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Verily I say unto
you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he
(Mark)17
shall in no wise enter therein. (Luke)16 And he took them up
in his arms,
(Mark)15
and he laid his hands on them, (Matthew)16 and blessed them,
(Mark)15
and departed thence. (Matthew)

(Luke
18:15-17; Matthew
19:13, 15; Mark
10:13-16)

16And, behold, (Matthew)17 when he was gone
forth into the way, there came (Mark)18
a certain ruler (Luke) – 17
one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, (Mark)18
saying, Good Master, (Luke)16
what good thing shall I do, (Matthew)17 that I may inherit
eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto
him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is,
(Mark)17 God: but if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, (Matthew)20Thou knowest the
commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness,
(Luke)19
Defraud not, (Mark)19
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
(Matthew)

20 The young man (Matthew)20
answered and said unto him, Master, all these (Mark)20
things (Matthew)20 have I observed
(Mark)20
from my youth up: what lack I yet? (Matthew)22
Now when Jesus heard these things, (Luke)21
Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, (Mark)22
Yet lackest thou one thing: (Luke)21
if thou wilt be perfect, (Matthew)21 go thy way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. (Mark)

(Mark
10:17-21; Luke
18:18, 20, 22;
Matthew
19:16-21)

22 But when the young
man heard that saying, (Matthew)22
he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: (Mark)23
for he was very rich (Luke)(and)22 had great
possessions.
(Mark)24
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, (Luke)23
Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, (Mark)23
Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom
of heaven. (Matthew)23 How hardly shall
they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again,
and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches
to enter into the kingdom of God! (Mark)24
And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of
a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (Matthew)

25 When his disciples
heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, (Matthew)26
they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can
be saved?
27
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not
with God: for with God all things are possible. (Mark)27
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. (Luke)27
Then answered Peter and (Matthew)28 began to say unto
him, (Mark)27
Behold, we have forsaken all, (Matthew)28 and have followed
thee. (Mark)27
What shall we have therefore? (Matthew)

(Luke
18:23, 24, 27; Matthew
19:22-25, 27;
Mark
10:22-24, 26-28)

29 And Jesus answered
and said (Mark)28
unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the
regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye
also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
(Matthew)29
There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or lands, (Mark)29
for my name’s sake (Matthew)29 and the gospel’s;
(Mark)29 for the kingdom of
God’s sake,
(Luke)30
but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this (Mark)30
present (Luke)30
time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come (Mark)29
shall inherit everlasting life. (Matthew)31
But many that are first shall be last; (Mark)30
and the last shall be first. (Matthew)

(Mark
10:29-31; Matthew
19:28-30; Luke
18:29-30)

Kingdom of Heaven Like a
Householder

1FOR the
kingdom of heaven is like unto a man thatis an householder,
which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2And when he had agreed with the
labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the
marketplace, 4
and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I
will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out
about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6And about the eleventh hour
he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand
ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him,
Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the
vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. (Matthew)

(Matthew
20:1-7)

8 So when even was
come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers,
and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9 And
when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received
every man a penny. 10
But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more;
and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had
received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12
saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them
equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. (Matthew)

13But he answered one of them, and said,
Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14
Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
last, even as unto thee. 15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil,
because I am good? 16
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few
chosen. (Matthew)

(Matthew
20:8-16)

Jesus Tells the Disciples
What is to Come

32AND they were
in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were
amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took (Mark)31unto him(Luke)32
again the twelve (Mark)17
disciples apart in the way, (Matthew)32 and began to tell
them what things should happen unto him, (Mark)17
and said unto them, (Matthew)33 Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem;
(Mark)31
and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man
shall be accomplished. (Luke)

32 For he (Luke)18 shall be betrayed
(Matthew)(and)33 delivered unto the
chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 34
and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him,
(Mark)(and he shall be)32
spitefully entreated. (Luke)(And they
shall)19 crucify him(Matthew)33 and put him to
death: and the third day he shall rise again. (Luke)

34 And they understood
none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they
the things which were spoken. (Luke)

(Mark
10:32-34; Matthew
20:17-19; Luke
18:31-34)

Appendix II

General Explanations

The Chronology.
I have done my best to place all events in proper chronological order, checking
numerous sources for biblical chronology, such as theological works, debates,
chronological tables, and other works that have attempted a similar study. Those
include the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, The Interlinear Bible,
The Strong’s Concordance, Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible, e-Sword Bible
software, Charles Templeton’s New Testament in Modern Speech, Aaron Bible
University chronological Bible, The Bulgarian Orthodox Bible’s chronological
tables and several other available online sources. And as I shared in the
Introduction, please note that this is not intended to be a substitude for the
Four Gospels, nor is it a theological work, but rather, an accessible key to
understanding the four biblical perspectives of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The Methodolgy. An understanding of the methodology used to
compile this work will assist the reader in recognizing and receiving the full
potential of this material.

The Gospel of Mark has been used as the base
Gospel because of its systematic structure and chronological order. In general,
the Gospel of Mark is in chronological order; however, there are some
exceptions. For example, in order for the context of the story not to be broken,
it is finished, then an out of order verse may follow, saying something that has
happened before that story. Conversely, there may be a collective or summary
verse saying that a story or event has happened, and then, there may be a whole
chapter or more explaining in detail how exactly the story or event happened.
Thus we see that the Gospel of Mark is not wholely chronological.

One example in Mark of placing the collective
or summary verse after the story is Mark 15:25. Mark 15:25 surely must have
happened BEFORE Mark 15:24, and not after it. This is because Mark 15:24 says
that, when they had crucified him, the soldiers parted Jesus’ garments,
casting lots upon them. Mark 15:25 says that it was the third hour and they
crucified him. Logically, deductive reasoning suggests that the events of
Mark 15:25 happened before Mark 15:24.

Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified
him.

Mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted
his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

An example of placing the collective or
summary verse first, in the Four in One Gospel of JESUS, and then explaining it
in detail is Luke 4:14. Here we see Jesus, after the temptation in the
wilderness, come to Galilee and start His preaching, teaching, healing, and
deliverance ministry. Yet, events that transpired between His coming out of the
wilderness and the beginning of His ministry are explained in detail in John 1:9
through John 3:36. So, Luke 4:14 is a collective or summary verse, describing in
one sentence what is being explained in almost three chapters: Jesus’ coming to
Galilee to start His ministry.

Luke 4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit
into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round
about.

John 1:9 - John 3:36 (Not presented here due to its length.)

There are many other examples of collective
or summary verses, especially in Matthew. Instead of giving complete details
concerning an event or a story, Matthew compiled historical biblical events
through deductive reasoning with little regard for chronology.

There are cases, where the same thing has
been said twice, even in the same Gospel. Know that there are repetitions in
several places and this is no mistake. One such example is Matthew 12:22-24 and
Matthew 9:32-34.

Matthew 12:22:24
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he
healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. And all the
people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? But when the
Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out
devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Matthew 9:32-34
As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled,
saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out
devils through the prince of the devils.

The same story may appear even in the same
Gospel. Although it may appear to be the same story and the Pharisees speak
similar words, there may in fact be more than one story with the Pharisees
speaking nearly identical words. This is no mistake. Jesus did so many things
and healed so many people, many of whom with comparable if not identical
problems, that repetition is not only common, but inevitable. (See also Matthew
16:19 and Matthew 18:18 for an example of similar words.)

Matthew 16:19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou
shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven.

There are also cases, where a story is told
in two, three, or even four of the Gospels. The story may seem identical, but we
cannot be sure if it is, or if it is several similar stories. For example, Jesus
shares two stories of a person that invited guests who declined the invitation
for various reasons. The stories are told in Luke 14:16-24 and Matthew 22:1-8.

Luke 14:16-24
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And
sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all
things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse.
The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go
and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five
yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another
said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came,
and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said
to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring
in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant
said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the
lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel
them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none
of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Matthew 22:1-8
And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom
of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, And
sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they
would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are
bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are
killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made
light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his
merchandise: And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was
wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned
up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
which were bidden were not worthy.

The stories seem identical at first glance,
but they are not. They are told in different settings and in different times. A
similar example would be Matthew 25:14-30 and Luke 19:11-28, two conceptually
related but different stories.
